The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle door latch device with which a reduction in weight and a reduction in production costs can be achieved. A pawl (4) is configured from: a core member (41) which is formed from a metallic plate material, and which has, integrally formed therein, a base shaft part (411) extending in the rotational axis direction of the pawl (4), and a claw part (412) provided at a side in the vicinity of one end of the base shaft part (411), said claw part facing a direction substantially orthogonal to the base shaft part (11); and a synthetic resin part (42) moulded so as to form at least a first cylindrical shaft part (421) at the one end of the base shaft member (411) and a second cylindrical shaft part (422) at another end of the base shaft part (411). Furthermore, a release action part (414) is integrally formed facing a direction substantially orthogonal to the base shaft part (411), at a side in the vicinity of the other end of the base shaft part (411). A release lever (7) is capable of being brought into contact with the release action part (414) such that a release operation of the release lever (7) causes the release action part (414) to rotate in the direction in which the pawl (4) is separated from a latch (3). |
